Let's divide 493996 by 35
We want to figure out the number of times 493996 can be divided by 35.

Going ahead to step 1:
35 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 35

Step 2:
When dividing 49 by 35, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 35 away from 49, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 143 / 35

Step 3:
143 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 140 from 143, we get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 35

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 35, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 141.0
Subtract 35 from 39 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 35

Going ahead to step 5:
35 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1411.0
If we subtract 35 from 49, we get 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 35

On to step 6:
If we divide 146 by 35, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14114.0
Deduct 140 from 146 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
35 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14114.1
If we take 35 away from 60, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 35, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14114.17
Subtracting 245 from 250 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 35, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14114.171
Subtract 35 from 50 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
35 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14114.1714
Subtracting 140 from 150 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
35 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14114.17142
Deduct 70 from 100 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 35 fits into 300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14114.171428
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
200 divided by 35 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14114.1714285
If we take 175 away from 200, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 250 by 35, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14114.17142857
Subtract 245 from 250 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 14114.17142857, and the remainder is 5e-09.
